“Greedy” types were easily misled due to their greed. The “wonton” guy was vulnerable because of his need. The “executioner” type ends up being attacked by the victim he mistreated. Therefore, the perpetrator is attacked and becomes the victim due to retaliation from the person he was abusing. This is equivalent to the woman who was abused by her husband then killing her husband. Hentig typologies of probable victims pave the way for the notion of victim precipitation. Indeed, its typologies highlight the fact that certain victims can play a role in crimes against themselves. Hentig's theory also led to a change in societal attitudes towards crime. His theory also made significant changes. For example, his theory was considered an excellent approach to investigating homicides. In this, the victim is dead and the perpetrator is unknown and therefore by examining the victim's lifestyle by interviewing their friends and family, it helps the law enforcement officers to turn their attention and their resources towards the victim in order to find the unknown attacker. However, one criticism of his work was that it was speculative rather than empirical.
